I'll pick up from there. Don't file another bug. Dear Sirs, I've made some updates to my package, it should available by saying dget -x http://mentors.debian.net/debian/pool/main/c/classified-ads/classified-ads_0.04-1.dsc I picked up items from discussion of bug #779377 and tried to address them somehow, please see following list: > d/changelog: > -This file should only contain Debian-related changes.

You should change this to "experimental". => Cleaned up, target is experimental, added "Closes:" -tag > d/compat: > -Debhelper 7 is old.

You might want to ask someone else, > but this seems like bad practice. => Moved manpage, removed comments remaining from template and adjusted the text a bit. Reason for leaving the datafile still remains but instructions have been added. > d/control: > -Priority should be "optional", not "extra". > -Either fill in the Vcs-* fields, or get rid of them. > -You've listed some dependencies twice: once in > d/classified-ads.substvars, and once in d/control. > -The long description of your package has some spelling/grammatical > errors and is a bit short. Perhaps you could take some of the > information off your homepage and put it there? => Changed priority, removed Vcs- -field, substvars gone as not needed. Long description made longer. libqt4-sql-sqlite dependency is not obvious at compile time so it must remain.

Sqlite must be manually added as it needed at runtime only, about openssl I don't know why it is not picked up automatically..

Dear Paul, dear mentors, Thank you for your extensive review. I won't go into detail for every item you have mentioned, but I believe that many if not most issues have been dealt with. But then again, I am just the packager not the developer. So I can do little about the code quality. All of my patches are now upstream, even though they are still not signing their releases (I haven't got an answer as to why). I will leave the internal libraries as static until they are stable. So far nothing outside of yadifa can or should use them. So, to sum things up, I am again looking for a sponsor for "yadifa". Now with the new release 2.0.5 YADIFA is a "Yet Another DNS Implementation For All", a DNS server written by the people of the EURid registry. The URL of the package is: http://mentors.debian.net/package/yadifa The respective dsc file can be found at: http://mentors.debian.net/debian/pool/main/y/yadifa/yadifa_2.0.5-1.dsc Kind regards, Markus -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-mentors-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".
